​First you can play with a laser pointer. The laser pointer is completely safe for pet's and humans and can be controlled with the smartphone app. With this, you will be able to send your cat jumping through the room!

Second is a treat dispenser. ​At the tap of a button, the machine will pop out a treat to your cat. This is a great way to reward him/her for good behavior, or just because you feel generous.

​What we like about it

​Kittyo has everything we needed to have fun with our cats. It's all combined in one good looking device that can be placed in every location we could imagine.

The treat dispenser works very well. We never experienced any treats getting stuck, and it accepts a wide size range.

This device was made specifically for cats. The treat dispenser is optimized for smaller cat treats, it comes loaded with sounds to attract cats, and is pre-programmed to detect cats to send alerts.

The value for money is ​high!. You get a pet camera, laser pointer, and treat dispenser for the price that other brands only offer a laser pointer or none at all.

​What We Don't Like About It

The camera can only record in 720p. This is not bad at all, if only we were not spoiled by the camera on the Petcube Play. This one records in 1080P (full HD) and provides amazing video quality. You only notice the problem when you have both devices side by side.

The laser can be a bit difficult to control. This is an issue with many similar systems. Contoling the laser fast enough (unless your cat is real slow) takes some getting used to. After a couple of weeks, we got pretty good at it but still struggled when the internet was slow.

​What we like about it

​Petcube's camera is arguably the best camera in any of the current pet cameras. The image quality is crisp, the colors look natural, and the night vision works lights up any room.

A little (nerdy) note about night vision: Technically, not one of these pet or home cameras has real night vision. They all work with a small infrared LED and a camera that detects infrared light. So they light up the room with infrared and then record it. We can't see the infrared, so it seems the camera can see in the dark.

When Petcube was first introduced, it was the only pet camera with a laser pointer. Now there are a lot of competitors with laser pointers but Petcube is still among the best. They have tweaked the laser control and app interface. The result is probably the most responsive laser pointers on the market.

​The small cube can be placed almost anywhere, and looks great in any interior.

​What We Don't Like About It

​In order to have the same functionality as Kittyo, you will need to spend a lot more. Petcube offers the Bites as a treat dispensing extension for the Petcube Play but it costs an additional $250. That makes the combination about twice as expensive as the Kittyo. Now, this will give you two HD cameras, and you can place both in the perfect location. (​High for best view and handling of the laser pointer, low of best treat dispensing). But when we compare the Kittyo vs Petcube (play), Kittyo provides a lot more value for money.

The high resolution camera uses more smartphone data. This is not really a negative but still important to take into account. When you have bad LTE reception or a small data limit, the higer data usage can become a problem.

​We are always looking to provide better information to our readers! Have you tried either one of these? Is there some other aspect that you would like us to compare? ​Please leave a comment below and we'll get back to you.
